Performance Upgrades

There are 2 types of performance upgrade owners can make to a 928:

Higher Specification Official Porsche Parts

This is where certain parts are replaced with Official Porsche parts originally fitted to a later, or more sporting Porsche.

Examples to consider:

• Replace wheels with GTS specification 17" Cup wheel
• Upgrade brakes to GTS specification (requires 17" wheels)
• Upgrade mirrors to GTS specification "tear drop" design (aka Ovoid mirrors)
• Upgrade suspension front springs to SE specification. (One of the best things to do!)
• Upgrade shock absorbers to SE/GT/Club Sport specification
• Upgrade springs to SE/GT/Club Sport specification
• Upgrade Exhaust to Sports or Techquipment specification

Third Party Performance Parts

This is where parts are upgraded to non Porsche parts that are of even higher performance.

Examples to consider

• Rear Muffler Bypass (RMB) - replaces the rear box with a straight pipe for a more sporty sound - Ask Paul Anderson to make you one
• Performance Chips - change the character of the engine for a more sporty performance
• Semi Racing Brake Pads - less dust more stopping power
• Aftermarket wheels and tyres
• Stroker Kit - take the engine out to 6litres! - Search for Devek in Google
• Body styling kits - Search for Jaquemond on google

SuspensionThe Porsche 928 can suffer a multitude of suspension problems that basically stem from 2 factors. Firstly the car is heavy - most 928s weight over 3500lbs. Secondly most 928s are now relatively old cars.
